I open my window

To a newday that has just begun

And I feel the bright heat

The bright heat of the Sun

But the Sun is not the same

Old poetic thing

I saw when I was a child

It's a nuclear fireball

Shining upon a world

Turned gloomy and wild

Chorus

It isn't over till it's over

It isn't over, it isn't now

It isn't over till we explode it

It isn't over, it isn't now

Down the streets

I see so many people walk

Staring at their faces

I can guess what they talk about

The same old pathetic life

Eat, sleep and buy

And don't forget to pray

They act like troglodytes

Watching shadows at the bottom of the cave

(Chorus)

It isn't over, it isn't now

The eye of the Rastaman watches all around

Now troglodytes, come out of the cave

You're free! Your masters are dead!

You're no longer slaves! Huh!

(Chorus)
